Rainy Day Doodles

Fun family time together!

It’s still rainy weather outside but we’re still doodling.

Jade draws a “glowy chicken” on the iPad.

A leaf rubbing detail.

A detail of my wife’s fun doodles.

A graphic expression of the letter “S”.

A detail of my “Mambo” doodle.

Jade drew “Steppy” on her head.

Jade said, “This is a lion.”

“This is a dragon.” Jade tried writing the caption near her drawing.

She also said, “That’s a mushroom” for the shape under the dragon.

“This is a sun.” Jade describes her drawing.

“It’s a little worm parade.” Jade explains the bottom squiggles on the page.

The 2nd and 3rd squiggles are “meows.”

Leaf Weaving

Creating a “rainbow” blend of leaves along our fence (inspired by Andy Goldsworthy).

1. Sorting our leaves.

2. Stacking and “blending” the colour.

3. The pile is organized to create “rainbow” blend.

4. Leaves are put on the fence (background).

5. A detail of the colourful leaves on the wire fence.

I Will Never Leaf You

Jade named the drawing and she also “wrote” the caption in red.
